Lu Yu thought that there was a more powerful presence on this battlefield, an enemy capable of rivaling the Guardians who was now testing him.
But the sound he heard made him freeze in his tracks.
“The Starry Battlefield is open. Entrant, you have already won the first round. For every ten rounds you win, you will be rewarded with one item. Rewards can be stacked. However, if you fail a challenge, all rewards will disappear, and your life will be lost as well.”
A cold voice echoed.
This is another voice, different from the one on the Demon Hunting Plains.
It’s just the same coldness and indifference.
Lu Yu immediately understood that there was another deity in control here.
Ten victories will earn you one reward.
The sound by Lu Yu’s ear had just vanished when the surrounding void suddenly distorted.
The distorted void became a vortex, and this time two figures emerged from within it.
Wang Jianming and a demon!
As soon as Wang Jianming died, he revived, slightly taken aback.
As for the other demon, Lu Yu knew him even better.
Bloodbath——
The first demon lord killed by Lu Yu.
Both of them were revived, and in an instant, they were stunned. A flood of information was pouring into their minds.
“Oh, I see.” Tu Xue’s bloodshot eyes shot out a fierce killing intent as he fixed his gaze on Lu Yu. “No matter who it is, just give me a chance to take revenge. The power of the Zun, the power of the Zun—two thousand Zun, that’s enough!”
Tu Xue clenched his fists tightly and let out an excited howl.
With such power, he must be able to kill Lu Yu.
Boom!
Tu Xue didn’t move. In an instant, he activated his own albinism power, unleashing his strongest force to surge towards Lu Yu.
His foot stepped into the darkness, and the ground trembled slightly.
Lu Yu raised the sword in his hand and swung it downward.
This was not the first time Lu Yu had faced depigmentation.
He can break through even before the power of albinism is fully developed!
Lu Yu’s sword strike was fierce and swift enough.
He thought the sword blade would strike the blood-soaked fist and sever the arm.
Sparks flew from Tu Xue’s bloodstained fists. His flesh was harder than steel; even the blade of slaughter had left not a single mark upon it.
Tu Xue didn’t care what Lu Yu was holding in his hands; as long as he was still alive, he had to kill Lu Yu.
Lu Yu’s sword was knocked upward. Tu Xue let out a furious roar, sending a powerful punch that shattered the Blade of Slaughter in Lu Yu’s hand and struck him straight in the chest.
“Boom!”
Lu Yu was shaken back several steps, yet he muttered to himself, “Only information regarding strength and some data from this era? They don’t truly understand my abilities!”
“His weapon is ineffective now.” At this moment, Wang Jianming’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He had just been killed by Lu Yu, so he had been hiding at the back, waiting for an opportunity to strike back.
Lu Yu’s sword strike proved ineffective. Wang Jianming’s eyes lit up as he seemed to have figured something out.
He suddenly charged out from the side as if he had taken a stimulant, glared at Lu Yu rudely, and shouted loudly, “Lu Yu, die for me!”
He had felt some unusual power entering his body at the moment of rebirth. Now, his suspicions have become reality.
He wielded the power of two thousand, and it felt surprisingly effortless and natural.
Wang Jianming’s first strike unleashed his maximum power, heavily impacting Lu Yu’s chest.
Bang.
Wang Jianming’s fist bounced up again. This time, his arm didn’t break, but he was still unable to hurt Lu Yu.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, was sent flying backward from the consecutive powerful blows.
“The Blade of Slaughter couldn’t take you down. Is it ineffective now?”
Lu Yu quickly put away his blade of slaughter.
He was very sensitive and was the first to sense that something was wrong.
Lu Yu’s blood-flesh fist, no matter how powerful, would still get scraped when blocking the blade of slaughter. Let alone when facing armor.
When Lu Yu’s first sword strike missed, he realized something was wrong.
After Wang Jian knocked him flying, Lu Yu immediately abandoned his long sword.
He landed, and his right hand flipped over.
Innumerable gray beams of light converged to form a stone sword.
The stone sword is in hand.
A cold, sharp sword light slashed out, splitting Wang Jianming in two just as he was about to press his attack, believing he had gained the upper hand.
Tu Xue’s rushing figure came to an abrupt halt.
He knew this was a half-star artifact.
But before he could even react, the stone sword severed his head.
Once again, a voice echoed through the void.
“The second victory.”
As the sound just faded away, the starry sky above Lu Yu’s head twisted, and four vortices appeared.
The first to step forward was still Wang Jianming. Following him was Tu Xue, and right after Tu Xue came two more people.
Lu Yu recognized one of them; it was Lu Tianming.
The other person, Lu Yu, was unknown to him.
Four people are revived, and data is injected once again.
“Lu Yu!” Lu Tianming opened his eyes, and anger nearly made them pop out of his head.
Lu Yu did not get angry, but instead smiled and said, “Tsk, another enemy. Is this place a gathering of enemies or something?”
“Lu Yu, it seems you’ve forgotten about me,” another person stared at Lu Yu with a fierce expression and said, “Back then, you killed me. Today, I have the power of two thousand zuns, far surpassing your one thousand. I don’t believe the four of us can’t kill you alone.”
“Tsk tsk.” Lu Yu’s laughter grew louder as he said, “Looks like I’m really lucky today. I get to kill someone who’s already died once.”
“Let’s settle this again. I think it’s my turn to kill you this time,” Lu Tianming stepped forward aggressively and said, “You were always too weak in talent. Back then, you managed to kill me because your skills were superior. But now I’ve surpassed you by so much, I don’t believe I can’t kill you anymore.”
Lu Tianming had just decided to step forward when Tu Xue suddenly grabbed him, saying in a cold voice: “Don’t act recklessly. The young fellow has a half-star artifact in his hands. Moreover, I have a guess that might be to our advantage.”
Wang Jianming also nodded, his expression unusually grave as he said, “We might be able to contain the boy’s power. But we need to verify this first.”
Wang Jianming wasn’t actually foolish; he was very smart. He was just arrogant and spoiled, which caused him to miss the best chance to survive, and he ended up killed by Lu Yu.
Dying twice in a row made him calm down.
He no longer acted arrogantly or recklessly analyzed the ins and outs of the situation, realizing instead that this was a chance to kill Lu Yu!
Tu Xue looked at Wang Jianming. Without any hesitation, Wang Jianming smiled slightly, nodded, and began walking toward Lu Yu.
Wang Jianming’s power remains at two thousand.
He had no defense, not even any restraint. He raised his fist and unleashed his most powerful force, aiming straight at Lu Yu’s celestial crown.
Hum.
Lu Yu’s stone sword also slashed downward.
The power of two thousand clashed against the blade of a half-star artifact.
Between the sword blade and Wang Jianming’s fist, a burst of starlight exploded, splattering in all directions.
“Haha, just as expected.” As soon as Wang Jianming saw this, he suddenly laughed out loud, grabbed the sword blade with his backhand, and threw a punch straight toward Lu Yu’s forehead.
“Let go of it!” Lu Yu shouted fiercely. His arm muscles tensed, and the sword resting on the stone emitted a rumbling sound, like the earth itself was collapsing.
Wang Jianming felt his grip on the sword slipping; his five fingers were shaken loose.
Vroom!
The stone sword trembled even more violently.
In an instant, the stone sword trembled, casting clusters of illusions that slashed entirely onto Wang Jianming’s body.
Boom, boom, boom…
One after another, the sword shadows shattered. Wang Jianming stood there unscathed, not even a hair out of place, his clothes undamaged. He crooked his finger at Lu Yu and said, “Come on, Lu Yu! What else can you do? This weapon is useless now too. How many more weapons do you have?”
At this moment, Tu Xue suddenly released his grip on Lu Tianming’s shoulder, letting out an eerie cry as he cackled, “Haha, excellent! Even a half-star artifact has become ineffective. I’d really like to see what other tricks you’ve got up your sleeve!”
All four of them sprang into action.
The half-star artifacts could no longer threaten them, so what did they still have to fear?
“Are things and forces that are used only once therefore ineffective?”
Lu Yu put away the stone sword and suddenly rushed towards Lu Tianming with his bare hands.
“Bang.”
Lu Tianming’s fist slammed into Lu Yu’s throat, while at the same time, Lu Yu’s fist struck Lu Tianming’s chest.
Two thousand versus more than a thousand.
Lu Yu had been defeated.
He covered his throat and staggered backward for dozens of steps. His voice box was extremely fragile; even after becoming a Star Bone, it remained the weakest part for now.
Lu Tianming’s punch force was completely delivered into Lu Yu’s throat, leaving him unable to catch his breath.
“Haha, even you, Lu Yu, can’t handle this!” Lu Tianming landed a successful strike and quickened his pace, fiercely chasing after him.
“Boom!”
Four fists simultaneously hurtled toward Lu Yu’s body.
A large star in the sky suddenly blazed brightly.
Buzz!
A vast shower of starlight cascaded over Lu Yu’s body.
Boom!
Lu Yu’s strength surged abruptly, the tendons on his arms bulging, as his fist swung forward like a whirlwind storm.
Huge forces tore at the bodies of the four people in the air.
The tornado storm was like countless giant grinding wheels crushing and destroying their bodies.
The air was filled with the sound of bones shattering and tendons snapping, accompanied by the screams and pained groans of four people.
Tu Xue let out a blood-curdling scream, and in terror he shouted, “Fifty thousand, this is the power of fifty thousand! How could this be? How could his strength suddenly triple?”
Lu Yu stood still, watching coldly as the four people were twisted into pools of blood and mud by the whirlwind storm, without making the slightest move.
Wang Jianming and others were verifying it, and he was also verifying it.
He killed Wang Jianming with his Blade of Slaughter, but the two individuals who emerged afterward were beyond the reach of his blade.
He used the Half-Star Artifact to kill these two people, and then the four individuals who appeared next were all immune to the Half-Star Artifact.
“Next, there will be eight people, or six!” Lu Yu moved his arms, saying coldly.
“Third victory!”
The sound started quickly and ended just as fast.
Around Lu Yu, eight whirlpools appeared.
“Doubling the increase,” Lu Yu snorted coldly. As he watched the figure emerging from the eight whirlpools, he had already raised his fist and struck it into the whirlpool before the eight figures had fully emerged.
The force of five thousand strikes hit the man’s chest just as he emerged from the whirlpool.
Boom!
Lu Yu’s punch was completely unleashed, but it had absolutely no effect on the opponent.
As soon as the opponent’s eyes widened in shock, he realized in that stunned moment that someone was attacking him. He immediately counterattacked, forcing Lu Yu to retreat several steps backward.
“Whether it’s a skill or a weapon, after being used once, you become immune,” Lu Yu murmured, patting his chest, “Weak skills can only cause damage, they can’t kill. But once you’re injured, it becomes ineffective.”
Lu Yu lowered his head, speaking to himself. Among those who had been resurrected, besides the four including Lu Tianming, there were also more demons and humans.
Without exception, the four newcomers, upon seeing Lu Yu, couldn’t help but rush forward like they had gone crazy.
After dying several times in a row, Wang Jianming also roughly understood and burst into laughter: “Lu Yu, I’d like to see how many more tricks you have up your sleeve!”
All eight of them sprang into action, their combined encirclement and attacks forming a vast net that surrounded Lu Yu from all directions, trapping him in the center.
All eight of them intended to kill Lu Yu, launching full-force attacks right from the start.
Lu Yu stood in the center, his fists shaking and sending countless fist shadows into the sky. A series of fiery dragons surged upward, ferociously charging toward the eight figures.
Lu Yu had absolutely no desire to fight these eight people.
He was still testing the waters.
If all skills become ineffective after just one use, the real challenge won’t be now but the battles ahead.
He doesn’t have many skills, each one is a masterpiece, yet each can only be used once.
What would he do if he didn’t have any skills?
